May, 1887, Iron Lodge, No. 107, I. o. o. F.,
completed its thirtieth year of continued and
uninterrupted progress. Like an individual,
war and hard times had their effect, but she
never knocked under. On this thirtieth an
niversary some of the members thought they
would like to do something for her, and,
without making the Lodge in any way party
thereto, got up the ball that filled the Acad-
envy of Music 4th of July night with an au
dience second to none in numbers or deport-
ment, who danced and ate, and ate and
danced, until the ball room gave the appear
ance of a matinee performance. The ball
Melted $1,000. An outstanding bond for
500 was purchased, and, on Monday night,
was presented to the Lodge by committee
selected on the night of the ball. This COM
mittee would like, through your paper, to
return thanks to the ladies, without whose
assistance it would have been a fiat failure,
and in their name and behalf was the pre-
sentation made. Your committee does not
overlook the assistance rendered them by
the coarser sex, and desire heartily to thank
them for substantial aid. Finally, Mr.. Edi-
tor. to Yourself we feel under so many obli-
cations that we can only say, Thank you!

Mr.. EditOr-After some time spent in
very pleasant visit at my brothers l again
start out upon my travels, some account of
which may be of interest to your readers.
Monday June bidding my friends here
goodbye, concluded 1 would "point" for
cooler climate. Thermometer standing at
9S degrees and no breeze. Reach Pine Bluff
at about 3 O'Clock and stop with my neice,
Mrs. Cunningham. Remained over the next
day; thermometer marking 100 degrees. A
man can have fry here, and it won't cost
him a cent! Took in the city, got some ice
cold soda, and made an effort to keep cool,
but without much success. An effort on the
part of nature to give US shower was not
more successful.

Ed. Register Hot! very hot and still
heating!
The rain seems to be over for while, and
corn is looking fine.
At present farmers are busy stacking wheat,
cutting oats, grass, &c.
The threshing machines are heard in almost
every direction and there is plenty for them
to do this year, as wheat is very good. What
has been threshed is making from Is to 90
bushels per acre.
The Normal Institute spoken of in our last
is in progress, with small number in at

The school at Cedar Grove will commence
this week with Miss Emma Imboden as
teacher.
Ye scribe attended church last night and
heard Rev. Hickman deliver an interesting
discourse to a very large and attentive au-
dience. Services will continue all week.
Prof. J. B. Scott has the high school ques-
ton booming here, and, we trust, he will
succeed In building up school of that kind,
for we need it, and we think the Prof. would
be the best man that could be selected, and
we will ever be willing 20 give him our aid.
He will teach the public school In connection
with the high school.
Mr.. G. B. Goggin, Jr., and sister, of near

IN MEMORIAM.
Died, July 9th, 1887, Mrs. SARAH J. MID
DLEToN, aged 81 years, 10 months, and 4
days.
She had been a member of the church for
about u years. She leaves a husband and
large family of children to mourn her loss,
beside host Of relatives and friends, who
regret her departure. The funeral services
were held at the home of the deceased by
Revs. Baker and Hickman. Quite a large
crowd was present and followed the remains
to the Edison cemetery, where she was bur-
led near her daughter, who died this spring.
The family have our sympathy in their sad
bereavement, and we hope they will prepare
to meet the dear ones that have Jus. crossed
the river of Death.
How they so softly rest,
All, all the holy dead,
Unto whose dwelling place
Now doth my soul draw near!
How they softly rest,
All in their silent graves!
Dear as thou vast, and justly dear,
We will not wpep for thee.
One thought will check the starting tear
1t is, that thou art free.
Thy passing spirit gently fled,
Sustained by grace divine;
Oh, may such grace on us be shed,
And make our end like thine!
